For today’s Song of the Day we go back to 2005 with The Eighteenth Day of May who had a great fresh take on British psych-folk. The Highest Tree is a personal favourite from their only album.
Gill Sandell’s second solo album is an object lesson in the art and craft of songwriting; a shimmering tapestry of sound with a mesmerising beauty, Light The Boats must surely rank amongst the year’s best records.
Hold on Magnolia is a great song that Darren Hanlon covered on Weary Engine Blues, a collection of Jason Molina’s songs performed by artists who are fans of his work.
Josephine Foster’s Little Life is a very welcome re-release, good on Fire Records for bringing it back into the fray. If you’re a fan, you need to add this to your collection.
Phosphorescent has released his first ever performance-based video. Watch ‘Ride On / Right On’, directed by and starring Phosphorescent main man Matthew Houck.
At times sincere, at times slightly sinister, Lux Harmonium’s new recordings recall the golden age of British psych-folk without ever losing their modern focus and precision.
